‘A report commissioned by Scottish Enterprise estimated that 2822 jobs depended on oil refining in Grangemouth. It’s hard to estimate the overall loss of economic activity, from food vans to specialised suppliers and administrative staff.’ @ewangibbs.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

On the eve of publication of our response to DOE’s “critical review”, organized by @andrewdessler.com, a reminder that the report falls way short even on the most basic of metrics. ✅ small fraction recent research cited ✅ 10% from non-peer reviewed sources ✅ 2 most cited authors are self-citations

NEW Summer 2025 was the UK's hottest on record This year's average summer temperature of 16.1C was made around 70 times more likely because of climate change, the @metoffice.gov.uk has found www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

*New research article* Gabe Eckhouse and I for Geoforum on how since the 1970s North Sea oil and then fracking have been imagined as British and American national energy sources through imperial oil booms reinforcing old oil powers after the rise of anti-colonial nationalism. Read it here⬇️

You asked, I delivered! Many folks encouraged me to share my recent Oxford lecture on using social media for bigger impact. I dive into my journey from total novice to influencer—growing from 0 to 150K+ followers across platforms. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5EaX...

"Many of our students seek anthropological thinking as a way of making sense of the everyday challenges of climate change and ecological destruction." Entries by @drbridgetbradley.bsky.social, @susanwardell.bsky.social & more! www.culanth.org/fieldsights/...

If you would like to review my book for a publication, get in touch! The book is a history of wind energy and I’m trying to get it out to as wide an audience as possible. manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526182968/

Marianna Dudley’s new book, Electric Wind, is an exciting new history of wind power. It tells the story of a technology which is transforming Britain and the people and places which made it happen.

Blackpool, once dismissed as a "left-behind" town, is now a climate frontrunner when it comes to a pioneering climate action plan from its council. New research unpacks how that happened, and why it matters:

Twenty years ago, renewables weren’t economically viable—now they are. But grid capacity is the new bottleneck, holding back expansion despite falling costs. Smarter integration is also needed to avoid negative electricity prices. Quoted in yesterday’s @faznet.bsky.social on new IRENA data.

One of my proudest essays to date is finally out! A text that would have helped me tremendously as a grad student: "The Political Economy of Museums" - ideal for anyone beginning to research this topic. doi.org/10.1093/acre...

New Blog Post 📣 Informed by years of ethnographic work, Gard Vangsnes discusses the pressures leading Amazonian indigenous communities to open up their lands to external gold mining and what has led groups like the Shuar to take up mining themselves energyethics.st-andrews.ac.uk/blog/gold-ru...

🚨 The economic cost of nearly 3°C global warming could be far greater than we thought 🚨 The UK could see government debt soar by 74% of GDP by the 2070s, warns the Office for Budget Responsibility. This warning shows why urgent climate action is about protecting our economy too 🏙️

EU industry could cut energy use by 24%—saving 67 MTOE—by 2030, all cost-effectively. The potential is huge and the business case is clear. Decarbonisation and energy security aren’t just possible—they’re smart moves for competitiveness. Next step: turning this potential into real-world action.

Thanks to @energy-ethics.bsky.social for having us today in Dundee to talk about Drifting North. First time I have ever read my own work aloud in that way and it was quite nice, all said and done.

Our 2025 conference #EnergyInMotion is underway! We are looking forward to welcoming all our wonderful attendees either in-person here in Dundee or online via our wonderful digital conference platform. Check out the event hub for more info: energyethics.st-andrews.ac.uk/energy-in-mo...

Really looking forward to reading this report ⬇️☀️ "Clean power + transport electrification show how the energy transition is all about interconnected systems and reinforcing feedbacks, not isolated changes."

The conference Energy in Motion begins this Sunday supported by the Centre for Energy Ethics @energy-ethics.bsky.social and hosted at Dundee Contemporary Arts and V&A Dundee. How might we understand, represent, and respond to the emotional demands of the climate crisis?

Climate emotions, energy futures and the arts - the #EnergyinMotion Conference will kick off this Sunday with fantastic workshops, panel discussions, performances and more. I will present my research on island energy imaginaries on Monday. Join us for this hybrid event @energy-ethics.bsky.social

Less than a week away! #EnergyInMotion
